1 .
Why did some tech workers say “I want to quit” this week after their bosses made them use AI tools?
Because the AI turned their coffee cold
Because the AI made mistakes and they didn’t trust it
Because the AI talked back to them
Because the AI made them wear silly hats
Some workers didn’t like being forced to use AI tools at their job—they felt the AI made mistakes, slowed their work, and they lost pride in what they did. One engineer even said, “Being forced to use AI makes me want to leave.” It shows that AI should help people, not make work worse.
2 .
Which strange thing did some YouTube channels fill their videos with this week?
Friendly robots cooking breakfast
Dancing dinosaurs reading bedtime stories
Singing tomatoes doing math
Talking cats delivering the news
Some of the fastest-growing YouTube channels are full of bizarre, AI-made videos—like an alien baby in space or cat soap operas where cats argue over silly drama. These odd, AI-generated stories are called "AI slop"—fun to watch, but often strange and not real.
3 .
What did a new study find about the AI tools used by councils in England?
They recommended extra playtime for kids
They downplayed women’s health issues
They insisted everyone drinks more water
They made council workers speak in rhymes
A study from LSE showed that some AI tools used in English councils were underestimating women’s health problems. For example, when summarising case notes, the system often described women’s issues with softer language or left them out. This raises concerns about fairness and bias in AI decision-making for things like social care.
4 .
What did a new AI-powered camera system in London promise to do on buses?
Make funny faces when buses hit potholes
Count how many sheep people dreamed about
Remind passengers to eat their vegetables
Spot when drivers look sleepy
Transport for London (TfL) introduced an AI camera system on buses that can monitor if drivers look tired or distracted. If the system notices signs of fatigue, it alerts the driver to take a break. This aims to improve passenger safety while supporting bus drivers.
5 .
How is AI helping scientists count baby barn owls in southern England?
It plays lullabies to make them sleepy
It records their dreams on video
It listens to their screeches and counts them
It teaches them to fly in tiny school buses
In southern England, scientists are using AI to help protect barn owls. When baby owls make their little screech noises in nests, AI systems listen in and count how many there are—so researchers don’t have to peek in and disturb them. This method helps keep the owls safe while still getting important conservation data.
6 .
What new tool did police in England get to help track down criminals?
Live facial recognition vans
Flying skateboards
Invisible handcuffs
Talking traffic cones
Seven police forces in England were given 10 live facial recognition vans. These vans use AI cameras to scan faces in public places and match them against a database of suspects. Supporters say it could help catch dangerous criminals, but critics worry about privacy and people being wrongly identified.
7 .
What new AI tool is being tested in the NHS to help doctors finish paperwork faster?
A robot that writes stories about doctors
A talking nurse teddy bear
A flying pen that writes on its own
An AI system that helps discharge patients quicker
At the Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust in London, doctors are trialling a new AI tool that writes summaries for patients ready to go home. It extracts key info like diagnoses and test results from medical records so doctors spend less time on forms and more time caring.
8 .
Which AI tool is being trialled by exam boards in England to speed up marking of test papers?
A robot that eats exam papers
AI that marks answers faster
Talking pencils that grade handwriting
Magic wands that give grades instantly
The UK’s exam board, OCR, is trialling an AI system to help mark GCSE and A-level papers more quickly—possibly delivering results a month earlier than usual. The AI scans handwriting and online answers and assists with double-marking. Though it can help reduce delays, human examiners still need to check its work for fairness and accuracy.
9 .
What are giant robot arms in Oxfordshire doing with AI this week?
Building wooden home frames faster
Painting comic books for future robots
Planting magic beanstalks in gardens
Teaching woodland creatures to play Minecraft
In Oxfordshire, a factory is using AI-controlled robot arms to build timber home frames—one of the world's oldest building methods. The AI helps cut and assemble wooden panels quickly, shaving around 10 weeks off construction time. It’s a clever blend of old and new, helping builders tackle housing shortages while keeping things green.
10 .
What big new tool did scientists in the UK get to help research with AI super-power?
Up to £150?billion extra over ten years
Enough to build a rocket to Mars
A million new dancing robot toys
Free ice cream for every schoolkid
A new report says the UK could earn up to £150?billion more over the next decade if factories used more AI and robotics. The UK has fewer industrial robots per worker than many countries—so using more could help small businesses grow fast and create smarter, safer jobs.
